Chapter 736: Chapter 290 Nightmare Power, The Deepest Memories [10,000 Words]_5
"Standing around for what? Sit down," Mu Rufeng walked to the long table and spread out the tablecloth full of delicacies.
All the Contractors obediently sat down at the long table.
Aside from Mu Rufeng’s main seat, there were twenty-five seats left, exactly one for each Contractor.
"Order whatever you want to eat. Once you’re done, the second round of the death game will begin," Mu Rufeng said before turning and leaving the room.
The windows on the second floor were boarded up, obscuring any view outside.
So Mu Rufeng went back down to the first floor.
The fireplace was still burning, but now it had calmed down.
The burning rate had returned to normal.
Mu Rufeng walked to the front door and opened it.
Outside, fierce snow was still howling.
However, it was now daylight, and the sky was somewhat bright, not the pitch-black environment of last night, allowing one to see further.
The courtyard was covered in snow, with no signs of any cracks.
Even the ground outside the protective shield was covered by snow, hiding any fissures.
The giant monster had already vanished.
It had probably left around six in the morning.
Could it be that they can’t appear here during the daylight?
With a grand wave of his hand, Mu Rufeng’s furious Ghost Power instantly swept away the courtyard’s accumulated snow.
The courtyard’s walls and gates had already vanished, turning into a wasteland full of fragmented traces and uneven ground.
With a mere thought from Mu Rufeng, the broken pieces of the walls and ground began to rapidly converge and then restored themselves.
In a matter of moments, the courtyard’s walls, gates, and the roads with their surrounding soil were all restored to their original state.
This was the Ancient Castle, a very high-level building; Mu Rufeng could easily control the castle’s power to repair any damages.
That meant, Mu Rufeng couldn’t use the castle’s power to attack the giant monster.
Otherwise, Mu Rufeng really wouldn’t have feared the Level 9 Ghost Emperor.
Mu Rufeng walked to the back of the Ancient Castle, below was an abyss bottomless as far as the eye could see, and further in the distance was shrouded in mist, which even he could not see through.
For some reason, although his eyes could penetrate much of the mist and Illusion Techniques, he couldn’t see through it here.
Mu Rufeng thought this must be a limitation of entering the instance, to prevent dungeon players from leaving the range of the instance.
Returning to the courtyard, Mu Rufeng once again took out the ryegrass seeds and sprinkled them on both sides of the stone path in the garden.
In a short period of time, the courtyard was filled with green vitality and was quite pleasing to the eye.
Mu Rufeng returned to the second-floor hall.
These people had finished eating, and when they saw Mu Rufeng coming, they immediately braced themselves.
Mu Rufeng gathered up the delicacies tablecloth and looked at the crowd.
"The second round of the death game begins now!"
As his words fell, several virtual options appeared in front of Mu Rufeng:
[Guess Guess Guess][Arm Wrestling][Death Roulette]
[Please select one of the game’s rules]
Mu Rufeng’s mind also listed information on these three death games.
The rules for Guess Guess Guess were relatively simple, just asking players to guess how many years the castle had been built.
If the guessed time was off by more than thirty years, they would be directly eliminated.
This game could be analyzed based on items and appearances within the castle.
The second game, Arm Wrestling, was also simple. Draw lots and pair off to arm wrestle; winners advanced, losers were eliminated immediately. If there were an odd number of Contractors, then one would automatically advance.
This was efficient, no matter what, 12 people would definitely be eliminated.
The third game, Death Roulette, involved loading a bullet and taking turns to shoot oneself in the head; if hit, then eliminated; if not, then advanced.
This one was truly based on luck.
Mu Rufeng thought for a moment and chose to go with Arm Wrestling.
"The second round of the death game will be Arm Wrestling. Draw lots to decide opponents, winners advance, losers are eliminated, those who draw a blank advance automatically," Mu Rufeng also wanted to end this instance quickly.
When Mu Rufeng announced the second round of the death game, their pupils sharply constricted.
This game was truly, too cruel. With twenty-five people drawing lots, twelve would surely be eliminated.
Although they had major reservations about this game, no one dared to oppose it and could only obediently proceed with drawing lots.
Soon, everyone had drawn their lots.
Mumu Ya was fortunate enough to draw a bye.
Then, the twenty-four Contractors, looking as if resigned to misery, began the arm-wrestling contest.
Once the contest was over, the twelve losers were immediately engulfed by the power of the Login Bracelet and were sent back to the real world.
"Congratulations to you all for successfully completing the second round of the death game," Mu Rufeng congratulated the remaining thirteen Contractors.
Simultaneously, a cue also appeared in Mu Rufeng’s mind.
[Successfully led the completion of the second round of the death game, rating upgraded, please light all the fireplaces to start the third round of the game at any time]
[Please note, the third round of the game must take place on the third floor]
"Now, everyone, go to the third floor to proceed with the next round of the game," Mu Rufeng said, then vanished on the spot.
They looked at each other, somewhat surprised that the third round of the game was starting so quickly.
Nevertheless, they didn’t say much and eventually headed toward the stairwell.
In no time, they had arrived on the third floor.
